I recently purchased the CGS Chariot for my XL Big Green Egg. I purchased some 2 x 4's to complete the build and (mostly) used the directions from the YouTube link.
The kit arrives with two wood pieces cut to conform to the diameter of your kamado grill (XL BGE, in my case), along with long threaded rods, nuts and washers. It also came with all the screws, drills and a bit driver for the build.
I'm happy with the product, but knocked off one star for the quality and choice of screws and the spade drill bit. The screws and driver bit are Phillips #2. Driving long (3-inch, if I recall correctly) screws through wood with a Phillips head bit can be problematic, especially with a screw gun, which has an impact motion. And, yes, i drilled pilot holes through the 2 x 4 first. I managed to shear one of the screws and had to replace it with a torx drive screw I had from a decking project. Torx drive or even #2 square drive would have been better choices for the screws.
The second minor complaint was with the 3/4" spade bit. True, you only need to drill four holes with it, but by the fourth hole, the bit had lost temper due to heat and it bent. I was able to (mostly) straighten it and finish the job, but others may not be so lucky.
Overall a good product and a simple, useful solution to safely moving my ceramic grill.
Ceramic Grill Store was very prompt on shipping my Kick Ash equipment. Items received were exactly as described. Haven’t cooked on my BGE yet but it will happen any day now.
Very pleased with product
I used to always use the Black bag of Fogo. I like this coal better as I think it burns better and seems to last longer
As advertised. I ended up just replacing the sliding components (screen and door) versus taking the entire metal housing off. Parts feel high quality and fit well.
Works exactly as you'd expect. Only issue is it's too large to fit into my sink to clean.
I’m in Ohio. But I buy from Ceramic Grill Store because they help out with all my questions.
Opens up so many new possibilities!!!!! Great quality and outstanding service!!!
Bought the Soft Grip. Really wish I’d found this sooner. It’s a nice improvement to my very weathered original wood. Install took about five minutes including the time it took to locate a socket wrench.
The Ceramic Grill Store is one of the few shops that caters to specialty & hard to find items specific for the Kamado Joe Jr Grill to expand the grilling experience for us empty nesters. Greatly appreciated and a must browse thru site.
So glad that CGS offers this ever so useful piece of (Big Green Egg) gear! It will get the job done for two of our favorites, flame-seared steak and some wok cookery. So handy! And could not have asked more of the service response, price, and speedy and superbly responsible delivery follow-through. CGS is all class! Thanks!
Works exactly as advertised. Incredibly easy to put in or remove. Gives me hot/direct side, and, an indirect side. Heavy duty and well made.
Can’t wait to master this thing one mistake at a time.
This is a game changer! It gives the ability to raise the grate to the felt line. The increased distance from the fire lets you grill direct on high heat without being concerned about flare-ups.
I recently purchased the KAB Basket, KAC Ash Can, Divider, and the free CGS Rake from Ceramic Grill Store and I couldn’t be happier. Everything arrived quickly, well-packaged, and exactly as described.
The KAB Basket is a game-changer. It’s solidly built with heavy-duty stainless steel, fits perfectly in my grill, and makes managing charcoal and wood chunks so much easier. The Divider works great for separating different fuels, and the KAC Ash Can is a huge improvement over the stock setup — it catches ash cleanly and makes cleanup a breeze.
The free CGS Rake is a nice bonus tool that’s sturdy and actually useful for stirring and leveling charcoal.
Zero complaints on quality, fit, or finish. These accessories feel like they were custom-made for my ceramic grill and have already made my cooking sessions more convenient and enjoyable. If you own a Kamado-style grill, do yourself a favor and grab this bundle — you won’t regret it.
Thanks Ceramic Grill Store for the great products and excellent service! I’ll definitely be back for more.

Initially I thought this thing was too heavy duty but man that grate holds some heat and sears mocely👍
Great quality and perfect size for my Big Joe
This is a great addition to my BGE ceramic grill. It allows much more control over my grill temps.
Have nothing bad to say about this product.I l love it comp to some other products.
This makes cleaning so easy. Very happy with my purchase.
Very nice drip pan for the price. I use it with my weber kamado and while it could be an inch or so larger, it works. Quality is great.
This is a huge step up from my stock grates and setup. I love that I am able to get my protein really high in the dome, add a drip pan, and use the double indirect method. It's also very handy for pizza, using one of the levels with a deflector to prevent burning the bottom. I have really enjoyed my cooks so far.
I purchased this for my Vision grill. It’s a perfect fit. I really like how heavy duty it is. Much heavier than other brands or what I found in the big box stores.
